No, we didn't.

Do you mean a honeymoon? If so then yes we did. We stayed at a log cabin in Lake Tahoe.

We took a cruise.

Took honeymoons both time

First one was planned....flew down for couple of weeks at a resort outside of San Juan, PR and then St Thomas.

Second one...we didn't plan one, but the day after the wedding, the weather was so nice, and the caterers cleaned up so well...we just called a B&B Victorian Mansion in Cape May, NJ, and drove down for a few days.

Yes. To Mendocino, CA on the northern CA coast.

No. We were very young--only 23. We were just starting out in our careers. We had a nice wedding, but we did it on a shoestring. And we felt that what little money we had was better invested on a downpayment for our home, than in a honeymoon that would be over in a few days. Once we bought the house, there really wasn't a lot of money left--we started our married life among a lot of ancient hand-me-downs (furniture, kitchen utensils, etc) We left our reception, and came right to our house, to spend our first night together here.

It's now 37 years later, and I'm sitting in the living room of the same house, typing this. What wise children we must have been. Our house has been much more of a treasure and has provided us with so much more joy and even financial returns than a brief vacation would have.

No, we also were very young...The following spring, we did take a weekend at the Falls......

No, we also did our wedding on a shoe string. We went to our APT after the reception. A funny story.....I was a young 18 and Hubs was 25. When we got to our apt, (it was about midnight) we ran into or landlady. I invited her in for coffee!! Hubs, very nicely pointed out....that I didn't know HOW to make coffee. LOL I wonder why he didn't want company??? Dottie

We drove to Eureka Springs AR (about a 5 hour trip) for our honeymoon, stayed in a part of a cottage called "Suite Alice".

Does 2 days on the Pennsylvania Turnpike count?

As a new employee I didn't have any vacation time and we were paying tuition for my DH's graduate school so we didn't have extra funds. We chose our wedding date based on a legal holiday so that the library would be closed and I had to take a day without pay for the other day. We left after work on Thursday, had our rehearsal on Friday night, were married Saturday morning with an afternoon reception and were back on the road by 5pm. We stayed at a lovely old hotel midway between Pittsburgh and Philly for 2 nights and reported back to work Tuesday morning.

Yes, we drove to Florida via the Blue Ridge Parkway and other roads, in DH's 57 Chevy. We had a lot of picnics and ate cheap, had a ball at the beach.

No....married @ 19, he was 21. We took camping trips, water skiing day trips every weekend. 31 years later....

I was 20, DH was in the Navy and 22 when we married. I think he was still paying of my $180 wedding ring so we kept it simple. Spent a few days in Carmel by the Sea and then a week camping on the Colorado river where I got the worst sunburn of my life. Yeah, fun times. LOL

Uncle Sam was somewhat involved in our "honeymoon."

I was 20, in fact was married on my birthday; DH to-be was stationed in Idaho. He applied for leave and it just happened to cover that date.

We had a church wedding, home reception. From the reception we went to a hotel, and the next day took the train to Idaho. We honeymooned there for 3 months and then he was sent to the South Pacific.

The train BTW was an old one that had been brought back into service. It was actually a troop train, with GIs sleeping in the aisles. They were kind enough to gave us seats together.

Sweet memories.

Yes, and we should have stayed home. We went to Canada since we were living in upstate NY and it was close and inexpensive. First of all, we stayed at a Turkey Point Resort (the name should have been a tip-off) where we had the boom-boom room, directly over the rock music band. Fortunately, we hadn't planned on sleeping much, anyway.
Next, we went to a wildlife preserve with a petting zoo. A goat ate most of my belt before I could shoo him away, and during the paddle boat cruise in the lake, a seal jumped up on the boat and bit me (it seems that was the boat they used to feed fish to the seals). We met a very nice nurse with a heavy Scots accent while I was getting my tetanus shot. "Ach, the wee beastic fair bit through your shirt!" Yes, the wee beastie did. I haven't liked seals since.
Then we went to the beach on Lake Ontario (hint, the water is very, very cold even in August). My husband got a very painful sunburn and you can guess how thrilling the rest of the honeymoon was.
We recently celebrated our 38th year of marriage, and were asked if we were going to take a second honeymoon for our 40th anniversary. We answered as one--NO!

Yes, but we came home early because my Grandma was ill. She died about an hour before we got there. I saw her for the last time on my wedding day.

Yes, and it was lovely, but *we* should have stayed home too! LOL It was too much 'trip' and not enough 'honeymoon'. DS and DIL were smarter when they left their wedding reception for a couple nights at a B&B in Door County, then had a honeymoon trip to Maui a few months later.

We had a church ceremony in the late afternoon and a county club reception dinner. We boarded a plane for NYC to stay overnight before leaving for London and Paris. We had our first meal together (not counting the reception) at a drug store lunch counter because hotel room service had closed at midnight. We were *starving* -- and exhausted. I think I had a grilled cheese sandwich? (I do remember what I ate at Fouquet's in Paris. LOL)

That was *only* 45 years ago.

We enjoyed our honeymoon so much, we decided to taske one every 5th anniversary.

wedding - PR and St Thomas
5th - went back to Puerto Rico...to a hotel on top of hill overlooking the beach
10th - Switzerland and Germany
15th - Hawaii
20th - Williamsburg, Va
25th - Palm Springs,CA
30th - Cooperstown,NY - Baseball hall of fame

Never made it to 35th.

Nope, hubby Jim got the mumps the day before the wedding, we couldn't even get married in the church. We got married a hour early at the house, then I left my "new husband" and went to the church for the reception with my bridesmaids..

our wedding trip was the pits..flew to il to meet dh's parents..then spent 24 hours on their sofa alone with the flu...finally did get better enough to drive up to half sis home and had a great time. she took us out to dinner and invited several friends...i hated going back to il...

No.We went home to our home in the country,25 miles from the town I lived in.First went to a steak house and had dinner.Next morning I took DH to work and I went back to town,went grocery shopping and visited all day with my mom and my cousins until time to pick up DH at work.It was kinda like a honeymoon because we were way out in the country and nobody bothered us.LOL

Marlingardener, I don't know if I should have but your story made me laugh!! Bit by a seal, I don't think I've ever heard that one before.

We did, but just drove up to Northern Wisconsin to the ?Copper penisula. We got married on October 9th, so it was pretty dang cold up there. Thought we would see some fall foliage, but the leaves were gone already.

We bought my Mom and Dad a wildlife print of a woodpecker on a tree as a thank you gift. I thought it was so nice and since they collect art I thought they would enjoy it. It took me a few years to mature my "artsy" taste to see how amateurish that print is, but it still hangs on their wall 22 years later (even though I know they really didn't care for it)

Eloped 45 years ago next week. DH was at a new job on the air at WLW and in graduate school, and I was on Easter vacation from teaching in Illinois. We had no money to spare. We married in Cincinnati and honeymooned for 2 days. He had one day off a week, so he traded his day off the following week to someone who would give him the 2nd day for our honeymoon. We honeymooned in Berea and Lexington, Kentucky. I bought a set of two small silver salt and pepper shakers from a store that was going out of business as our honeymoon souvenier. I still use them for holiday meals.

Lived in California, went to Disneyland.

Went to Washington , D.C. to see the cherry blossom festival. On the way there it snowed (April 12) and killed all the cherry blossoms. This weekend is our 51st wedding anniversary and it's in the 90's....far cry from 51 years ago. We visited Mt. Vernon, did the skyline dry in the blue ridge mountains and then on to Williamsburg, Va. Here we are 51 years later retired in Williamsburg!

Took a Caribbean cruise

My first wedding? No. Second? We B&B'd through the Gold Country to Yosemite.
We were gone 4 days. My DH has only been on an airplane twice. Once to go to Texas to see our son and the second time was to come home.

He is a homebody who thinks we should not go vacationing if we owe money to anyone. Oye. That said, he lets me pour $$ into our house.

Sleeperblues, go ahead and laugh. We do now, but it took us about five years to see the humor in it! If you want a really good chuckle, I could tell you about the wedding ceremony . . . .

Nope,we got married on a saturday evening and DH left that following Monday to go to the Suez crisis.He was in the marine corps.We actually weren't supposed to get married til July that year,and when the Suez crisis came about they told him he'd be going.He called me,said do you want to get married before i go,and i said yes.
We had a simple ceremony with my sister,his brother and his best friend and the minister.

We've been married 52 years the 19th of this month.

We got married on a Saturday in June in my parents backyard in Clarence NY (Western NY, just outside Buffalo), then drove to Atlantic City for a week. That was when they had only one hotel-casino, gambling was newly legal . We had a great time, walking the AC boardwalk , gambling, eating in sea-side restaurants, swimming in the hotel pool and using the sauna. That was almost 31 years ago.

Re: my first marriage, we were married on Jan. 1, in college, poor soooo - we went to McDonald's - the only place open, then back to school - no honeymoon.

Re: the second marriage, we went to San Diego for a week.

I worked in a department with all men except me and a temp. secretary. Harry and I were getting married after work on a Friday but no plans to go anyplace since school was still in session. Just after lunch that Friday, the guys threw a mini-shower for me (as well as a bunch of men could). They gifted us with a beautiful set of towels and a night at the Riverside Resort in Homosassa--just about 50 miles up the road. When we got there, they had arranged for a beautiful bouquet and a bottle of champagne on ice. I loved those guys!

Now every year our anniversary (including last year) falls on a Friday 13, we go back. Have to say it was much more romantic the first time ;-)

Yes - sort of. We got married between summer session and fall quarter of college for DH. So we had a week off and spent it goofing off in Mpls/St. Paul before we went back to college. It was fun and at least it was summer. We always say we didn't really have a honeymoon until six years later when we went to Paris - still a low budget trip thanks to the Holiday Inn Priority Club.

No..we were 18 and had little $$$

For our 25th anniversary,we took a wonderful 10 days and enjoyed ourselves all around eastern Ontario.

I have no intentions at this time of being married a second time...

Sort of: We took the train from SF to LA then the Red Car to ElMonte for me to be introduced to my husbands grandmother. We stayed a week or so and visited many places around LA. Grandmother became my best friend and taught me so very much. Wish she were still here. BTW DH (only 19 and had to get permission to marry...I was 19)had just got out of "Boot Camp" USMC and our 24 year "career" began. Nanny

Nope. Did not take much of a honeymoon trip. We married on a holiday weekend (to get the extra day). Traveled about 100 miles away from the wedding site and stayed our first night together in a small hotel. Used the next day to take a leisurely drive back to our first apartment, and on the third day, set up our living quarters.

I had started a new job fresh out of college 3 months prior ot the wedding was was due back on the job the next day following the 3 day weekend. My wife had one more year of college and she was busy registering for classes. We lived on ahoestring that first year. My wife graduated the next year and things began to look up economically. But her first year of work was an internship (required for state certification) that did not pay well. Two years later, we started our family and thankfully by then, my job had begun to pay better - enough to support us and new baby.

Since that first year, we have taken a sight-seeing trip almost every year for vacation for the next 30 years. We still take trips, but the focus has broadened because we have seen many of the scenic places that were on our list.

First marriage - yes, we went to Lake Tahoe - in December.

Second (current, last) marriage - yes, we went to Puerto Vallarta. Eight days and seven nights at the Sheraton Buganvilias.

Yes. Our wedding gift to each other was a truck camper to fit on hubby's truck. It was our "honeymoon cottage on wheels". After the ceremony we took off in our truck for a week in Florida at my parent's house. My parents were of course still in Ohio, having come there for our wedding, and they arrived back home to FL several days later.

We took a weekend trip...just to get away.

We had one night in a Holiday Inn, and my husband who was used to getting up at 4 a.mm., got up and we were out by 6 a.m. I should have just killed him then...but I was a different person back then.

Marlingardener -- Oh, YES! Please DO tell all about the ceremony!

We went to Cove Haven in the Poconos. 1978 We loved it. The scenery was gorgeous in the Fall and we even had an ice rink for skating. DH thought that was something! We had a log cabin to ourselves with a fireplace and room service. Lots of activities if we felt inclined and we met so many great couples who were also honeymooning. Great entertainment each evening and wonderful food! We really had a blast and will always have great memories of it.
